Kellyanne Conway: The Media Failed; When Will People Be Fired?

Source: Real Clear Politics

Trump administration adviser Kellyanne Conway joins FNC's Chris Wallace to clear the air about Team Trump's feud with the mainstream media.

"Not one network person has been let go," she argued. "Not one silly political analyst and pundit who talked smack all day long about Donald Trump has been let go. They are panels every Sunday, they are on cable news every day."

She added: "I'm too polite to mention their names, but they know who they are, and they are all wondering who will be the first to go. The election was three months ago. None of them have been let go."

"Biased coverage might be easy to detect, but incomplete coverage, impossible to detect," she also said. "That is my major grievance. The media are not giving us complete coverage."

Just as soon as President Bannon hands control of all the media over to Fix News and their ilk.

Really, you've never seen firings like these (not in this country anyway). Very, very good firings.

That the people currently occupying the White House really do view authoritarian regimes as an ideal model. Everything they've done since January 20th - absolutely everything - reinforces this perception. I don't trust them as far as I could throw the lot of them.

What she desires is way, way off the wall! This sounds like a Trumpian edict she was sent out to broadcast, no matter how silly it sounds.

Here's a better one: how about a WH advisor get fired the first time they utter a falsehood as reviewed, defined by the media and proven false?

She'd be the very first to get fired............

They are the reason that trump is president. The millions of dollars of free advertisement that they gave him that allowed him to become the republican nominee. The horse race narrative that they constantly pushed. Allowing Conway and her ilk to come on the airways and spew bullshit without calling them out. Treating Clinton as just as flawed as trump.

...on Republican talking points. Here she is attacking Rachel Maddow from the "left."



Of course, she never actually criticizes Republicans or Trump. Rather, she just attacks Democrats because Republicans are a lost cause.

Trump is nothing but a mentally deranged cult leader and all his excuse makers are nothing but cult following minions.
